Chapter 713 714: Xiao Tianyu's Gift
"It really isn't much to show our respect!" Xiao Ziyan snorted coldly, "What's with giving a diamond necklace? Are you trying to pursue my sister Biyue?"
"If possible, naturally!"
"Such shamelessness!" Xiao Ziyan rolled her eyes at Mo Kongfan, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This measly necklace is nothing to Biyue, hurry up and put it away, don't make a fool of yourself here!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Mo Kongfan looked utterly flabbergasted.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Biyue smiled faintly, "Since you all came to celebrate my birthday, I naturally won't turn you away. As for your gift, I appreciate the thought!"
Was this a refusal?
Mo Kongfan's gift was also rejected?
It seems even one of the three goddesses, Shangguan Biyue, has her pride. Many were astonished; Mo Kongfan is considered a distinguished young talent among his generation, not only handsome but also a Core Disciple of the Bright Divine Sect, with extraordinary talent.
"Looks like she's not really into your gift!" At this moment, Tan Feng, standing behind Long Ao, mocked, making Mo Kongfan's expression turn slightly unpleasant.
Soon after, young talents from the Celestial Demon Academy and Jiuxian Academy also arrived, offering gifts. Yet, just as unsurprising, they were rejected, causing those present to display puzzled expressions.
All those who showed up today were quite notable figures, yet all were snubbed for the sake of a beauty.
"Everyone, please come in!" Shangguan Biyue gestured invitingly. Though she didn't accept their gifts, she remained polite, as these individuals were all from distinguished backgrounds, and she didn't want to cause any trouble for Emperor Star Academy.
As for Duan Yuan, he stood silently behind the three women, saying nothing, as long as these people didn't act out of line, he naturally wouldn't interfere.
Soon, the group entered the hall, and Duan Yuan left the scene to monitor the hall himself, especially since he vaguely sensed several Saint Heaven Realm experts stationed outside the hotel.
All these academy disciples came prepared for today.
At this moment, in the hall, all eyes were fixed on the forefront, where Shangguan Biyue, Ye Qingcheng, and Xiao Ziyan stood.
Some academy disciples, without any concealment, revealed a look of greed; they knew well enough why they came here.
Now that the three goddesses of the Imperial Capital were all present, it was indeed a grand occasion.
Then, the reception manager Liu Ying walked gracefully to Shangguan Biyue and asked, "Miss Shangguan, can the banquet begin?"
"Let's wait a bit longer!" Shangguan Biyue shook her head.
"Alright then!" Liu Ying's beautiful eyes flickered, still waiting. Could there be another important guest that hadn't arrived yet?
Shangguan Biyue glanced toward the entrance of the hall, seeing no one coming in, she silently huffed. Could that guy have really forgotten my birthday? Hmph... if he really forgot such an important day, I won't let him off easily in the future.
Wait a bit longer?
The crowd below expressed bewilderment, waiting for whom? Which scoundrel dares to make the goddess wait, show yourself so I can cripple you, damn it, this is outrageous.
No way?
This... this doesn't seem right. Who could make Shangguan Biyue wait like this? It definitely couldn't be a man, otherwise, what would we do?
Half an hour passed, and still, no one entered from the door, the banquet hadn't started, and forget about the cake.
What's happening? We're all waiting for one person, who has such influence?
Soon, someone below grew impatient, it's almost seven o'clock, and more importantly, I haven't had dinner yet.
Finally, someone couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Excuse me, how much longer till the banquet begins?"
"Sorry, there's still an important friend of mine who hasn't arrived, so I must trouble everyone to wait a bit longer!" Shangguan Biyue apologized with a smile, her beautiful eyes kept scanning the entrance, making many people confused, still waiting, huh.
At this moment, even Long Ao and Mo Kongfan frowned, clearly surprised. Shangguan Biyue didn't even look them in the eye earlier, yet now she's explicitly waiting for someone.
What is the identity of this awaited person? Could it be more terrifying than ours? You've got to be kidding.
Just then, the doors opened, and a staff member from a cake shop quickly approached Shangguan Biyue with a cake in hand and asked, "Are you Miss Shangguan?"
"Yes!"
"Your cake!"
"I didn't order a cake though!" Shangguan Biyue appeared slightly baffled.
"Is your full name Shangguan Biyue?" the staff member asked.
"Yes!"
"Then there's no mistake, please sign for it!"
"But..." Shangguan Biyue hadn't finished speaking when an exuberant voice echoed from outside the door, "Don't you like it?"
Shua shua shua~
At these words, countless eyes turned toward the entrance. They saw a man and two women standing there, the man exuding unmatched elegance, his face carrying a gentle smile. However, most attention was on the ancient-attired beauty next to him.
In the Imperial Capital, the only beauty wearing traditional ancient attire is the rumored Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal, Lu Die'Er.
Beside Lu Die'Er, the little girl was unmistakably Long Ling'Er.
"Xiao Tianyu?" Suddenly, inside the hall, Long Ao was stunned. He hadn't expected Xiao Tianyu to be there with Long Ling'Er and Lu Die'Er.
"Hmph, looks like another lecherous guy, not satisfied with Lu Die'Er, now wants to have a go at Shangguan Biyue? Dream on!" Long Ao snorted coldly, his carefully prepared precious gift had also been turned down by Shangguan Biyue, would she care for a mere cake? Impossible.
"Whoever it is, bringing a cake thinking the goddess would like it? Don't make me laugh, Tianyu International had prepared a large cake enough for dozens of people, would she be interested in a few hundred dollar cake?"
"Who is that, here to embarrass himself?"
"I think so too, damn it, if Shangguan Biyue accepts his cake, I'll write my name backward!"
"But how is he with the Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal? Is his luck that good?"
"..."
Many in the hall were talking, as if a mere cake could win over the goddess, impossible, our necklaces worth a fortune were rejected!
"Long Ao, do you know this person?" At this moment, Fang Hua from another table asked with a smile. This Fang Hua was from Jiuxian Academy, quite gifted, always proud, and still bitter over his gift being rejected by Shangguan Biyue.
"Just an arrogant fool!" Long Ao replied coldly.
